Vesna Vulović

Vesna Vulović (Serbian Cyrillic: Весна Вуловић [ʋêsna ʋûːloʋitɕ]; 3 January

Vesna Vulović
1950 – 23 December 2016) was a Serbian flight attendant who holds the
Guinness world record for surviving the highest fall without a parachute: 10,160
metres (33,330 ft). She was the sole survivor after a briefcase bomb tore through
the baggage compartment of JAT Flight 367 on 26 January 1972, causing it to
crash near Srbská Kamenice, Czechoslovakia. Yugoslav authorities suspected
that Croatian nationalists were to blame, but no one was ever arrested.

Following the crash, Vulović spent days in a coma and was hospitalized for
several months. She suffered a fractured skull, three broken vertebrae, broken
legs, broken ribs and a fractured pelvis. These injuries resulted in her being
temporarily paralyzed from the waist down. She made an almost complete
recovery but continued to walk with a limp. Vulović had no memory of the
incident and had no qualms about flying in the aftermath of the crash. Despite
her willingness to resume work as a flight attendant, Jat Airways gave her a desk
job negotiating freight contracts, feeling her presence on flights would attract too
much publicity. Vulović became a celebrity in Yugoslavia and was deemed a Vulović in the early 1970s
national heroine.

She was fired from JAT in the early 1990s after taking part in anti-government Belgrade, Yugoslavia
protests, but avoided arrest as the government was concerned about the negative Died 23 December 2016

during the Bulldozer Revolution of October 2000. Vulović later campaigned on Resting New Cemetery,
behalf of the Democratic Party, advocating Serbia's entry into the European place Belgrade, Serbia

Early life
Vesna Vulović was born in Belgrade on 3 January 1950.[1][2] Her father was a businessman and her mother was a fitness
instructor.[2] Driven by her love of the Beatles, Vulović travelled to the United Kingdom after completing her first year of
university, hoping to improve her English-language skills. "I initially stayed with my parent's friends in Newbury," she recalled,
"but wanted to move to London. It was there that I met up with a friend who suggested we go to Stockholm. When I told my
parents I was living in the Swedish capital, they thought of the drugs and the sex and told me to come home at once." Upon
returning to Belgrade, Vulović decided to become a flight attendant after seeing one of her friends in a flight attendant's uniform.
"She looked so nice and had just been to London for the day," Vulović recalled. "I thought, 'Why shouldn't I be an air hostess? I
could go to London once a month'." She joined JAT, Yugoslavia's national flag carrier and largest airline, in 1971.[3]

JAT Flight 367

The secondary crew of JAT Flight 367, flying from Stockholm to Belgrade with
stopovers in Copenhagen and Zagreb, arrived in Denmark on the morning of 25
January 1972.[3] According to Vulović, she was not scheduled to be on Flight
367 and JAT had confused her for another flight attendant also named
Vesna.[3][4] Nevertheless, Vulović said that she was excited to travel to Denmark
because it was her first time visiting the country. The crew had the entire
afternoon and the following morning to themselves. Vulović wished to go
sightseeing but her colleagues insisted that they go shopping. "Everybody
A JAT McDonnell Douglas DC-9
wanted to buy something for his or her family," she recalled. "So I had to go
identical to the one destroyed in the
shopping with them. They seemed to know that they would die. They didn't talk
bombing
about it, but I saw ... I felt for them. And the captain was locked in his room for
24 hours. He didn't want to go out at all. In the morning, during breakfast, the
co-pilot was talking about his son and daughter as if nobody else had a son or daughter."[3]

Flight 367 departed from Stockholm Arlanda Airport at 1:30 p.m. on 26 January. The aircraft, a McDonnell Douglas DC-9,
landed at Copenhagen Airport at 2:30 p.m., where it was taken over by Vulović and her colleagues.[5] "As it was late, we were in
the terminal and saw it park," Vulović said. "I saw all the passengers and crew deplane. One man seemed terribly annoyed. It was
not only me that noticed him either. Other crew members saw him, as did the station manager in Copenhagen. I think it was the
man who put the bomb in the baggage. I think he had checked in a bag in Stockholm, got off in Copenhagen and never re-boarded
the flight."[3]

Flight 367 departed from Copenhagen Airport at 3:15 p.m. At 4:01 p.m., an explosion tore through the DC-9's baggage
compartment.[5] The explosion caused the aircraft to break apart over the Czechoslovak village of Srbská Kamenice.[4] Vulović
was the only survivor of the 28 passengers and crew.[1][2] She was discovered by villager Bruno Honke, who heard her screaming
amid the wreckage. Her turquoise uniform was covered in blood and her 3-inch (76 mm) stiletto heels had been torn off by the
force of the impact.[4] Honke had been a medic during World War II and was able to keep her alive until rescuers arrived.[3][6]

Between 1962 and 1982, Croatian nationalists carried out 128 terror attacks against Yugoslavian civilian and military targets.[7]
The Yugoslav authorities suspected that they were to blame for bringing down Flight 367. The day of the crash, a bomb exploded
aboard a train travelling from Vienna to Zagreb, injuring six.[8] A man, describing himself as a Croatian nationalist, called the
Swedish newspaper Kvällsposten the following day and claimed responsibility for the bombing of Flight 367.[9] No arrests were
ever made.[10] The Czechoslovak Civil Aviation Authority later attributed the explosion to a briefcase bomb.[11]

Paralysis and recovery

Following the crash, Vulović spent days in a coma, having fractured her skull and then hemorrhaged.[a] She also suffered two
broken legs and three broken vertebrae, one of which was crushed completely.[3] Her pelvis was fractured and several ribs
broken.[14][10] Her injuries resulted in her being temporarily paralyzed below the waist. She had total amnesia from the hour
preceding her fall until one month afterwards. Vulović's parents told her that she first learned of the crash about two weeks after it
occurred. She fainted upon being shown a newspaper headline by her doctor and had to be tranquilized.[3] The last thing that
Vulović could remember from before the crash was greeting passengers as they boarded.[4] The next thing she remembered was
seeing her parents in her hospital room about one month later.[3]

Vulović underwent treatment in a Prague hospital until 12 March 1972, after which she was flown to Belgrade. She was offered a
hypnotic injection to help her sleep during the flight back to Yugoslavia, but declined, explaining that she was not afraid of flying
because she had no memory of the crash. In Belgrade, Vulović's hospital room was placed under 24-hour police protection
because the authorities feared that the perpetrators of the bombing would want to kill her. The guards changed shifts every six
hours, and no one was allowed in to see her except for her parents and doctors.[3]

Her hospitalization lasted until June 1972, after which she travelled to Montenegro to recuperate at a seaside resort, where her
doctors visited her every two or three days. Vulović underwent several operations to restore her movement. At first, she could
only move her left leg, and one month thereafter, she was able to move her right.[3] Vulović's parents had to sell both of their cars
to pay for her medical bills.[15] Within ten months of her fall, Vulović had regained the ability to walk, but limped for the rest of
her life, her spine permanently twisted.[4] In total, she spent 16 months recuperating.[12] "Nobody ever expected me to live this
long," she recounted in 2008.[4] Vulović attributed her recovery to her "Serbian stubbornness" and "a childhood diet that included
chocolate, spinach, and fish oil".[4][16]

Air safety investigators attributed Vulović's survival to her being trapped by a food cart in the DC-9's fuselage as it broke away
from the rest of the aircraft and plummeted towards the ground. When the cabin depressurized, the passengers and other flight
crew were blown out of the aircraft and fell to their deaths. Investigators believed that the fuselage, with Vulović pinned inside,
landed at an angle in a heavily wooded and snow-covered mountainside, which cushioned the impact.[1][b] Vulović's physicians
concluded that her history of low blood pressure caused her to pass out quickly after the cabin depressurized and kept her heart
from bursting on impact.[17] Vulović said that she was aware of her low blood pressure before applying to become a flight
attendant and knew that it would result in her failing her medical examination, but she drank an exorbitant amount of coffee
beforehand and was accepted.[3]

Later life

Fame
In September 1972, Vulović expressed willingness to resume working as a flight attendant.[3] The airline felt that her presence on
flights would attract too much publicity and instead gave her a desk job negotiating freight contracts. In Yugoslavia, Vulović was
celebrated as a national hero.[1] Her reputation as a "Cold War heroine" also extended to the Soviet Union and other Warsaw Pact
countries.[18] After the crash, Vulović received a decoration from the President of Yugoslavia, Josip Broz Tito, and the Serbian
folk singer Miroslav Ilić recorded a song titled Vesna stjuardesa ("Vesna the Stewardess").[1] She was soon made an honorary
citizen of Srbská Kamenice. Honke's granddaughter, born six weeks after Vulović's fall, was named Vesna in her honour.[19]
Vulović continued to fly regularly, stating that other passengers were surprised to see her on flights and wanted to sit next to
her.[4]

Vulović's parents both died within a few years of her fall.[20] In 1977,[c] she married mechanical engineer Nikola Breka after a
year of dating.[19] Although Vulović was advised by physicians that her injuries would not have an adverse effect on her
reproductive function, she experienced an ectopic pregnancy that nearly proved fatal and was never able to have children.[3] In
1985, The Guinness Book of World Records recognized her as the world record holder for surviving the highest fall without a
parachute: 10,160 metres (33,330 ft). She received the recognition at a London gala from
musician Paul McCartney.[21] Vulović was thus officially acknowledged as having
surpassed the records of other fall survivors, such as Alan Magee, Nicholas Alkemade,
and Ivan Chisov.[6]

In the early 1990s, Vulović and her husband divorced.[3][d] Vulović attributed the divorce
to her chain smoking, which her husband disapproved of.[20] Around the same time,[e]
Vulović was fired from JAT for speaking out against Serbian statesman Slobodan
Milošević and taking part in anti-government protests. She avoided arrest because the
government was concerned about the negative publicity that her imprisonment would
bring.[4][21] In response to her activism, pro-Milošević tabloids launched a smear
campaign against her, claiming that Flight 367 had been shot down by a Czechoslovak
surface-to-air missile and that she had fallen from a lesser height than previously Monument in Srbská
believed.[20] Vulović continued taking part in anti-government demonstrations throughout Kamenice memorializing the
crash
the 1990s. When Milošević and his Socialist Party of Serbia were ousted in the Bulldozer
Revolution of October 2000, Vulović was among several celebrities who took to the
balcony of Belgrade's city hall to make victory addresses.[3] She later campaigned on behalf of the Democratic Party and
advocated for Serbia's entry into the European Union, which she believed would bring economic prosperity.[4]

Illness and death

Vulović told reporters that she did not think of her fall every day, but admitted to struggling with survivor's guilt.[4] "Whenever I
think of the accident, I have a prevailing, grave feeling of guilt for surviving it and I cry ... Then I think maybe I should not have
survived at all."[22] Vulović declined therapy to help cope with her experiences and instead turned to religion, becoming a devout
Orthodox Christian. She stated that her ordeal had turned her into an optimist. "If you can survive what I survived," she said, "you
can survive anything."[4][16]

In 2005, Vulović's fall was recreated by the American television program MythBusters.[23]

In 2009, Peter Hornung-Andersen and Pavel Theiner, two Prague-based journalists, claimed that Flight 367 had been mistaken for
an enemy aircraft and shot down by the Czechoslovak Air Force at an altitude of 800 metres (2,600 ft), far lower than the official
altitude of 10,160 metres (33,330 ft). The two claimed that the Czechoslovak State Security had conjured up Vulović's record fall
as part of a cover-up.[21] They also hypothesized that the call received by the Kvällsposten, claiming responsibility for the
aircraft's downing, was a hoax.[9] The Czech Civil Aviation Authority dismissed the journalists' claim, calling it a conspiracy
theory.[24] Hornung-Andersen conceded that the pair's evidence was only circumstantial.[12][25] Vulović said that she was aware
of the journalists' claims, but stated that because she had no memory of the event, she could not confirm or deny the
allegations.[22] Guinness World Records continues to list her as the record-holder for surviving the highest fall without a
parachute.[12]

In the last years of her life, Vulović lived on a pension of €300 per month in her dilapidated Belgrade apartment.[4] "I don't know
what to say when people say I was lucky," she remarked. "Life is so hard today."[22] Vulović lamented that her mother and father
might not have died prematurely had she not been aboard Flight 367, stating that the incident not only ruined her life, but also that
of her parents.[3][16] She only occasionally granted interviews and declined numerous requests, most notably from Oprah Winfrey
and the BBC,[26] saying that she was "tired" of discussing her fall.[4] By the time she had reached her sixties, Vulović's
deteriorating health prevented her from taking part in annual commemorations at Srbská Kamenice, which she had previously
attended for many years.[27] In December 2016, Vulović's friends became concerned for her well-being after she abruptly stopped
answering her telephone. On 23 December, locksmiths discovered Vulović's body in her apartment after forcing open the door.[1]
Vulović's friends said that she had struggled with heart ailments in the years leading up to her death.[28] She was buried in
Belgrade's New Cemetery on 27 December.[29]

a. The length of time that Vulović was comatose is the subject of considerable contradiction, with different sources
indicating three days,[4] ten days,[10] and 27 days.[6][12] A report issued by the Yugoslav state-owned news
agency Tanjug in early February 1972 states that "[Vulović has] emerged from her coma ... is able to speak and
read and is chatting in English with her doctors."[13]
b. On the basis of her conversations with Honke, Vulović disputed the assertion that she was discovered aft the DC-
9, as claimed in some reports. "The man who found me ... told me that I was in the middle part of the plane," she
said. "I was found with my head down and my colleague on top of me. One part of my body with my leg was in
the plane and my head was out of the plane. A catering trolley was pinned against my spine and kept me in the
plane."[3]
c. A 2005 newspaper article published by the Croatian daily Večernji list reports that Vulović married in 1975.[20] In
an interview with Aviation Security Magazine, Vulović stated that she was married in 1977.[3]
d. According to Večernji list, the couple divorced in the mid-1980s.[20] In 2002, Vulović told Aviation Security
Magazine that she and her husband divorced "ten years ago".[3]
e. Some sources suggest that Vulović's employment was terminated in 1990.[4][21] According to Večernji list, JAT
terminated her employment in 1991.[20]
